"Sure of what?" I manage.
"I need to make sure I knocked you up... You're not spending another day without my baby growing in your belly. Because you're fucking mine.”
Chapter Four
Brazen
My eyes swallow her up like the delectable treat she is. I can't get enough of looking at her, listening to her, experiencing her. Before this, I did all of that in secret. I'd watch her and beat my cock to the thought of her but I never made a move. Now, I can't hold the fuck back. I don't give a damn how wrong or fucked up this is, there's no goddamn way I'm keeping my hands off Minnie anymore.
I've already kissed my old life goodbye. There's no turning back now. There's only the future to look forward to. And while I don't know where that is, it's with her. Minnie, and however many kids she gives me.
The words that have slipped off my tongue with such ease have taken years. Years of living in denial and pretending I don't want her. Lying to myself through gritted teeth, I tried to believe I didn't need Minnie. But I fucking do. I need her.
"You look so fucking beautiful," I tell her as I climb on top of her. "Did he keep you on birth control?"
Wordlessly, Minnie shakes her head and my blood fucking boils. "I won't either. But you want my baby, don't you?"
"Y-Yes," she admits brokenly. "I do. I want everything with you."
I smirk, pushing my cock inside her. I don't say anything, just watch Minnie holding her breath as I begin to drive deeper and deeper inside her folds. I watch my cock disappearing in her silky depths, prolonging the moment before each one of us gets our release. I could make love to her for hours, days like this. But we don't have a lot of time, so I fill her sweet pussy as fast as I can, and she moans my name gratefully while I finish up inside her.
I pull out and replace my cock with my fingers, fucking my seed deeper inside her hungry cunt. She whispers and moans my name over and over again. Afterward, we lie on the bed together and wait for the hours to pass. We have some food and water and I clean her up with the blankets before we get dressed again.
When I help Minnie put her clothes on, my palm comes to rest on her belly, and her eyes shoot up to mine. A question looms in her gaze, and I answer by grinning and rubbing her belly with my palm. She lets her own hand rest on mine and smiles. Then, the voice of Julian outside is calling out to us, asking us to come out.
"Come on," I tell Minnie, tugging on her hand. "It's time for our new life to begin."
I help Minnie out of the lodge. On the clearing beneath, Julian awaits us with a chagrined expression.
"What's wrong?" I demand, but he merely shakes his head.
"Everything's fine. Come on, let's go."
But the nagging feeling that something's fucking up doesn't let go as we walk down the pathway to the drive. And by the time I realize we've been double crossed, it's already too fucking late.
Father stands in front of a limo with a thunderous expression. Our driver, Kelley, gives me a regretful look and Minnie hides behind me as Father smirks.
"How could you?" I hiss at Julian.
"You have no idea what he's capable of," my former friend mutters.
"I do, that's why I asked for your goddamn help," I hiss, holding Minnie to my side in a desperate attempt to protect her from anything the man can throw at us. "Forget it, Julian. Get fucking lost, you double-timing bastard."
He fades into the forest while I smirk at my father.
"Thought I wouldn't taste the pills in my drink?" Father smirks. "You're an amateur, son."
"Let us leave in peace," I mutter. "No one gets hurt. Just let us go."
"No," Father shakes his head. "You took my Minnie, and you're trying to leave, too. My favorite toy and my best asset. I can't let you go."
"I'll never let you touch her again."
"You can't stop me," he smirks. "I hold more power."
"Not forever," I hiss. "And I'd rather kill you than see you put another bruise on my girl ever again."
Minnie cowers behind my back and I intertwine my fingers with hers while Father glares at us.
"Come back to the house," he speaks up calmly. "Or die here, right now. Both of you."
Minnie whimpers and I squeeze her hand as I address my father. "You fucking touch her, I will cut your fucking dick off and feed it to you."
"So violent," Father laughs. "You're just like your father, sonny boy."
"I'm nothing like you," I spit out. "Now get the hell out of our way."
He laughs out loud, ignoring my words as he approaches us. But I was ready for this. I pull out the gun I stole from his study and point it at him. But all Father does is laugh out loud again.
"Oh, you're threatening me now? With my own gun? Put it down before you get yourself hurt, Brazen."
"Let us leave and no one gets hurt," I hiss.
"Nobody's leaving." Father shakes his head vehemently. "We're all going back to the Estate together, and we'll move on from this scene and never speak of it again. You'll be a good pawn and marry the girl I want you to marry, and Minnie..." He chuckles darkly. "Well, Minnie will go back to what she does best - serving. On her knees."
I lunge forward until my gun hits his forehead. Minnie shrieks but I pay it no mind. I'm fucking too far gone right now. He's pushed me too far. And what's making me even angrier is the fact that my father is showing no fucking guilt and no remorse, either.
"Don't you say another word about her," I hiss at my father. "You're not worthy of saying her name. Do you want to die, old man?"
"Die?" He laughs. "You won't hurt me. I'm your father. You wouldn't dare."
"You really sure about that?"
"Sir, I..." Kelley speaks up but I glare at him, still holding the gun to my father's head.
"Don't intervene," I demand. "Keep Minnie safe."
Kelley nervously glances between my father and me before going to the maid's side. This is just between us now, the way it should've been from the start. I'll fucking kill him if I have to. I'm done making excuses for my father's brutish, cruel behavior. I'm not letting him get away with this shit anymore.
"You really want to keep going?" Father asks mockingly. "I'm going to embarrass you in front of her. What are you going to do when she realizes she wants me, not you?"
"She doesn't want you," I spit out. "She fucking hates you."
"Why don't we ask her?" Father smirks, turning his head to the side and not even paling when I click the safety off on the gun. "What do you think, Minnie? Who fucks you better, Father or son?"
Minnie glances between the two of us, the fear evident in her eyes. I half-expect her not to answer, but when she does, my heart swells with pride for her.
"I'd never pick you," she says to my father. "I'd rather die than feel your filthy fingers on me ever again."
"I'll make you regret ever saying that," Father hisses at her. "I'll make you pay for each one of those words with a broken fucking bone."
"Over my dead fucking body." I stand my ground and push the barrel of the gun into his mouth. He can't speak now and I'm grateful for the tension-charged silence in the clearing. "You piece of shit. I should've gotten rid of you a long time ago. But you'll never hurt her again. I'm not taking any chances."
"Brazen..." I look at Minnie while my father smirks, not believing I'll go through and do it. But all I need is Minnie's word of approval. When our eyes lock, she gives a barely perceptible nod. I close my eyes, count to three, and fire the gun.
***
Eden Falls is a vicious, bloodthirsty little town.
I never realized how many enemies my father had here. Now, being the new head of the house, I finally know. Many people wanted to get rid of him - certainly more than the meager number of people who wanted him around. I don't know whether my mother and sister will ever forgive me. I don't know if I can forgive myself for taking a life. But Minnie is safe now, and that's all that matters.
They'll never find my father's body - Kelley and I made sure of it. We burn
ed the car with father's body inside it and gave false confessions about the car bursting into flames, not giving a damn who believed us. But father was hated enough that we aren't questioned. And suddenly, our lives have changed. Forever.
Back at home, I put my grandmother's ring on Minnie's finger. She's mine now, forever, and I'm never fucking letting go. After all, I paid for her hand in blood.
Mother and Tianna still won't speak to me, so I drown my sorrows with a bottle of Irish whisky. Pandora and Dexter have sent their condolences, but we all know there was no love lost between my sister and Emilian Oakes. She's probably just as happy as we all are that he's finally fucking gone.
I've never killed before, and I know I'll never kill again. But Father's death was imminent.
Only when he's gone do all the stories come out. All the maids with bruises and frightening histories with my father. Minnie may have been his favorite, but she sure as fuck wasn't the only woman he abused. I feel better for saving all those women, but the guilt still threatens to swallow me the fuck up.
Minnie is my only consolation. Staying by my side as I deal with the fallout of my father's death, she makes sure everyone buys my story and makes sure the cops stay away.
Days of meetings later, I finally realize what this means.
We're free. We don't even have to leave Eden Falls - we get to have our future here, together, the way it should have been from the start. And with Minnie by my side, I know I can do anything.
She takes the pregnancy test one month and a half after that fateful night we spent together, our first time.
It comes back positive.
I'm probably too young to be a father, but the happiness I feel when she tells me the news cannot be rivaled. We are married that weekend in a small ceremony. As a personal favor to Minnie, I send her mother away with some money. The bitch doesn't deserve it. I know it as she signs a contract binding her not to meddle in our lives. I'll be glad to see Belle fucking gone. She's done nothing but stir up fucking trouble for us.
Mother still isn't speaking to me, but Tianna is slowly coming around. These days, she's spending a lot of time with Pandora and Dexter, but I know she'll come to forgive me in time. Even though I never told anyone the sordid details of that day, there's no doubt Tianna and Mother know Father's death wasn't an accident. But they'll accept it someday. We're all happier with him gone. And even though the blood will forever stain my hands, I'm okay with that.
As Minnie's belly grows, so do my responsibilities. Despite work taking up a lot of time, I still make sure to spend as much of my free time as I can with Minnie. I help her decorate the nursery and go through baby name books. All I know is that I'm fucking happy. Happier than I've ever been. And that wouldn't have been possible with Father around.
In the end, I didn't wait for my happily ever after.
I fucking killed for it.
Chapter Five
Six years later
Brazen
"You're so fucking beautiful."
My lips kiss a line down my wife's belly. She's seven months pregnant with our third child now, and I couldn't be happier. If I thought I had it all before, it all got turned around when our first babygirl Ava was born. Our son, Jackson, followed two years after, and now Minnie is pregnant with twins. She's made my heart expand with each child she's given me. I never thought I'd love anyone this much, but she's proven to me it's possible.
"We're going to be late," Minnie giggles, pulling away and fluffing up her light blonde hair. "We can't be late for the gala."
"Who fucking cares," I mutter, grinning as I tug on her perfectly pinned up tendrils. "It's our gala. We can be late if we want to be..."
Her eyes meet mine in the mirror and she smiles. It's all the confirmation I need to tell me she wants this just as much as I do.
Minnie gets up from the chair and I pull her into my arms, embracing her body and making room for her belly between us. I love seeing her pregnant. Motherhood looks so damn good on her, it makes me want to keep her like this forever. We both want a big family, and I'm more than happy to keep giving her all the kids she's ever dreamed of.
Our lips meet in a decadent kiss and I pull her against me, not giving a damn if I'm smearing her lipstick. Despite years having passed, every kiss, every touch, still feels as good as the first one. I can never get enough of Mignonette, can never have my fill of her sweet lips and the way she moans my name as I sink my head between her legs.
"I love you," she whispers in my ear as she wraps her legs around my waist and I carry her to our bed.
"I love you fucking harder." I lay her flat on her back and tug on her cowl neck dress until her tits bounce free. My eyes darken at the sight of her. Sometimes I can't help the dark desires that fill my fucking head every time I see her like this. Helpless. But unlike my father, I'd never take things from Minnie without her approval. And she wants this, wants me.
Pulling her dress up, I watch her with hungry eyes as she slips her manicured fingers between her legs. A gasp escapes my wife's lips as she begins to caress herself, eyes firmly locked with mine as her fingers dive into her silky folds. I'm so fucking hungry for her, beyond ready to slide my dick out of my slacks and put it inside her where it belongs. I don't wait another second.
Unzipping my pants, I pull out my already throbbing cock and massage its length with my eyes on Minnie. "You want this, wifey? You'd better fucking work for it."
She sinks to her knees in front of me, reminding me of the first time she did this. I'm going to come in her mouth tonight as a special treat. After all, I've already knocked her up.
She sucks my cockhead into her mouth and sucks away greedily, impatiently. She can't get enough of me and I know I'll never, ever get enough of her.
"That's right," I mutter, grabbing on to the back of her hair and not giving a shit about her intricate hairdo. "Keep fucking sucking, Minnie, don't stop, take it all..."
Her tongue expertly flicks over my engorged cock and she moans as she sucks me deeper. She's so fucking good at this I never want her to stop. This is what dreams are made of. My Minnie, on her knees, with her mouth on my twitching dick.
I don't let myself come fast. I prolong it, drawing out the moment as long as I can. Until Minnie turns her pleading eyes to mine. I've never been able to resist it when she begs like this... and even though I love coming in her sweet pussy, I blow my load into her throat this time, and she massages every last drop out of me with her mouth while I groan at the sheer force of my release.
She swallows everything. I've taught her well over the past few years. She wouldn't dare let a drop drip out. Minnie knows better than that by now. With a smirk, I tug on her hair, enjoying the sight of my load in her mouth before she swallows it all.
"Good girl," I mutter, still absent-mindedly massaging my cock while I watch her with hungry eyes. "Your turn now."
She whimpers as I sink between her legs. My tongue slips out between my teeth and I taste her like it's the first fucking time. She tastes so damn good I can't imagine ever wanting anyone else. Minnie's forbidden sweetness fills my mouth and I groan when I taste her, licking my lips before continuing my gentle assault on her exposed, sweet little cunt.
She isn't wearing panties - she knows I want easy access. And it's easy enough to tug her dress up and sink my tongue into her folds whenever the opportunity arises. The gala is long forgotten now. All that matters now is extracting more pleasure from her body that's already so very eager for a release.
My fingers join in with my tongue and I continue my relentless torture of my wife. I can't get enough of her, filling my mouth with the way she tastes and feels and still never getting enough. I could spend a lifetime on my knees worshiping her sweet little pussy, and I fully intend on telling her that before she buries her fingers in my hair and pulls me in deeper.
I know she's so very close now, and there's no way I can stop myself from giving her more of the sweet pleasure she so desperately craves.
"You taste fucking divine, Minnie," I mutter against her skin. "Sinfully good..."
"Keep going, please." Her voice is soft and so very desperate it sends shivers down my spine. I can't resist her. I don't know how I ever kept my hands off this little tasty little morsel.
My mind drifts to the blood I've spilled to own a woman like her. I should feel guiltier than I do. I should be worrying myself sick because of what I did. Things still aren't right with Tianna and my mother. But none of it fucking matters. I don't give a shit about anything except Minnie. And I did what I had to do to get her. I saved us all, not just the former maid. We would've faded away if he was still here.
"Spread your legs for me," I mutter hungrily. My wife obeys in an instant, knowing I'm not fucking joking when it comes to claiming her as my property. Her legs part as wide as they can under the dress, and my mouth latches on to her sweet clit, drinking her juices like I'm a parched man lost in the desert. "Fucking hell, Minnie, you taste so goddamn good... I'll never get enough of you."
She responds with a soft cry as I gently bite down on her clit. She knows I love to mix in some pain with the pleasure and doesn't object, but her little fingers wrap even more tightly in my hair. She tugs on it, but doesn't push me away. She wants this just as much as I do, and I know it's impossible for either of us to resist one another.
"Are you going to come for me?" I groan. "I want to taste this pussy while you come... I want you to fucking squirt, Minnie."
"No, I-"
"Don't fight me," I growl. "Do as you're fucking told and be a good little slut for me."
She hesitates, but I know she won't fight me. Minnie would do any-fucking-thing for me and she proves it every day.
Squirting is only a recent habit she picked up but I've had a lot of fun with it already. Hitting her G-spot just right makes her gush so much my mouth is filled in seconds, and I crave her taste all over my tongue as I jam my fingers deep inside her needy little hole.
